    On that note, I hate getting locked into a channel like soul strike. I feel like it makes me too vulnerable.

    I use soulstrike on my HA magplar using 5 pc soulshine 5 pc spinners. It's nasty. I don't know that i'd bother using it on any other kind of build though. There are better ults for other builds.
    Oooh, what do we have here? Another scrumptious young plaything straight out of life and into my club? Mmm... you smell new, little boy, like fabric softener dew on freshly mowed Astroturf. Oh, I'm not frightening you, am I, duckling?

    On the soul strike discussion. Yes there are better ones, but I would not shrug off an ult that tool tips for 30k+. How and when to use a chanel ult is more important than if it can be blocked or any of that other stuff.

    @Adenoma what's with all the stam builds...you're better than that. Stam builds are for newbs and the lazy.

    I made a sorc a couple weeks back, wasnt sure i was going to like playing a sorc in pvp, it was my first one after all. Turns out I love playing a sorc, loved it so much that i made another one before vetting out the first one xD May be my favorite class yet.
    Took a slow pain-staking grind but i finally got to bring her in for the first time last night. Bit of a rough start but ive gotten back into the feel for pvp, so If you see a tiny vamp sorc running around destro ulti and soul striking everyone just know... That's me :)

    Someone is in trouble!!! It's okay, I'm posting while on my last day of my neurology rotation and working in clinic.

    @Valen_Byte , I just love S&B animation cancelling. I don't mind many builds as much fun. I really like playing builds that require a lot of animation canceling or a good destruction staff weave.

    I'm starting to feed the horse on a magicka DK. MagDK is by far my favorite class to play. Otherwise, I'm helping a friend push emp this next week a second best I can and I'll probably be doing it all on a magplar that's had eye of the storm since level 36.

    Still torn on my next magDK build. Either light destro/resto or light armor DW/resto. So unsure.

    Oh dang, that'd be like metapocalypse. What's the least useful skill out there right now? I feel like Equilibrium might be useless in pvp. Has anyone used it to manage resources in bwb on their magicka toons?

    So what builds are folks excited about playing? I'm vetting out two characters (S&B/2h stamDK and 2h/bow Stamsorc) and I'm really excited to make some new builds with a heavy armor destro/resto NB and a 7L DW/resto magDK. Both are going to be super HOT- and DOT-based and only use healing ward for heals. But those are just things that I'm feeding horses on until they're a little older. I'll be playing 2h/DW medium armor WW stamplar next. Sort of a kill-to-sustain build plan for that one. Other than that I've got a reroll of my current stamDK that should be a lot better and then a heavy armor S&B/bow Stamsorc in the pipeline next. Still need to vet my DC, @TipsyDrow so I can reroll it on AD with some minor changes.

    Figured we could talk about our devious plans to help out the downtime.

    I'm still trying to vet out a magicka and stamina character for each class before I get too fancy with builds. After I vet out my Mag Sorc, I just need to finish my Mag DK, and make a Stam Sorc and Stam DK. I'm thinking of making a Black Rose build for my Stam Sorc and/or DK since I've never ran heavy armor before, and I've heard that this Black Rose set is pretty alright. I have some plans for some interesting builds once I'm done with that, but I spend such little time playing that the meta might be completely different by the time I get to that point. One thing I really want to try is a NB that actually uses a bow as its main weapon. I'm thinking of possibly using a 5x Eternal Hunt/5x Senche's Bite setup and really focus on kiting enemies, since a bow is obviously not great for damage. Not sure how effective it'll actually be, but it should make for a fun troll build if nothing else.

    @TipsyDrow , I think there's a little more depth to it. And I think there are great ways to make a healer super relevant in BwB from a DPS perspective.

    Wait, you guys have healers?!!! Wtf! lmao I swear sometimes there are 0 ppl running healers in AD. Then I feel its my responsibility to do it, then I end up playing nothing but templars... blarg! Not that Ive ever run a pure healer build in bwb but if Im magic (which i am 99.9% of the time) I always have off heals.

    I'm surprised how many healers spam breath of life after getting hit by a siege, instead of using cleanse :/

    Funny, every mag toon I've ever had in bwb runs resto and purge on the back bar. They've all been dps spec, but heals are key!

    If you've seen a DC sorc, dk, or nb spamming purge and combat prayer, that was probably me.
